I’ll measure pre/post wash and let you know.</p> <p>JenniNZ - no idea how true this is, but a quick search says Tank top refers to swimming clothes from the early 1900’s, and this link says singlet has been in use much longer: <a href="https://www.fleetfeetalbany.com/blogs/running-rambles/37149445-why-do-they-call-it-a-singlet-why-should-we-care" rel="nofollow">https://www.fleetfeetalbany.co.....ld-we-care</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparing-essential-tank-tops#post-2003325 Sat, 16 Feb 2019 19:18:56 +0000 lyn67 2003325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love nr 2.

There are colors and prints, too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparing-essential-tank-tops#post-2003100 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 20:06:59 +0000 Jenni NZ 2003100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Second one out-of-sight better- smoother and thicker, more substantial. I find that sort of thing so important.<br /> Looks fine to wear alone if very hot!<br /> BTW that is what I would call a "singlet", though I have started to try to call them tanks on the forum. Singlet is an old fashioned British word that got used in NZ in my childhood I think. Why are they called tank tops?- from the Army? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparing-essential-tank-tops#post-2003076 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 19:03:32 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2003076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Great choice. The Amazon Essentials looks so sleek, and the fit is great. It looks just right under your red top. It's useful to see the side-by-side comparison.</div><div>I was thinking the Daily Ritual is a nice choice for someone who wants all cotton. It's not that easy to find, especially at that price. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparing-essential-tank-tops#post-2002978 Fri, 15 Feb 2019 15:10:44 +0000 Anonymous 2002978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I like the second tank more too, though seems too thin to stand alone.

I also wear a tank or cami daily...an under layer. I have bought Target's in the past. They are cheap and long enough. But they seem to have mostly ribbed knits right now that I do not care for. So I will watch this thread for ideas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparing-essential-tank-tops#post-2002718 Thu, 14 Feb 2019 23:56:12 +0000 Jenn 2002718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Amazon ones definitely look better!</p> <p>My tank of choice is the No-Yank Tank from Duluth Trading Co. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparing-essential-tank-tops#post-2002707 Thu, 14 Feb 2019 23:41:58 +0000 LaPed 2002707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely prefer the Amazon! My own fav layering tanks are the Uniqlo Supima Tanks. They fit so nicely and are substantial enough that I wear them on their own when it's hot out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparing-essential-tank-tops#post-2002695 Thu, 14 Feb 2019 23:30:40 +0000 Angie 2002695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No worries at all!

I was debating the two brands too for basics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparing-essential-tank-tops#post-2002610 Thu, 14 Feb 2019 21:34:53 +0000 Carla 2002610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally agree with your choice. Have you ever worn Lands' End tanks? I like tanks under button downs and by themselves in hot weather. LE states theirs keeps bra straps hidden. I have a 'poison eye' for exposed bra straps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparing-essential-tank-tops#post-2002607 Thu, 14 Feb 2019 21:28:50 +0000 Gretchen 2002607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After the essentials discussion, I decided it was time to retire some tank tops, and replace. I don’t wear tanks stand-alone, these are purely layering pieces for me. So I decided to try Amazon Wardrobe and compare 2 types: Amazon Essentials vs Daily Ritual. Both are sold in 2-packs, and I ordered the same size in both. </p> <p>Photo 1- <a rel="nofollow" href="https://smile.amazon.com/Daily-Ritual-Womens-Lightweight-Supima/dp/B072V8CWPF/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1550184897&amp;sr=8-9&amp;keywords=daily+ritual+tankhttp://">Daily Ritual </a>($18). 100% supima cotton. Scoop neck in front, straight in the back. Laid flat, it’s 2 inches wider in the body than the Amazon, and arm curve is more straight. Feels more like wearing a t-shirt, and is very thin. </p> <p>Photo2- <a rel="nofollow" href="http://https://smile.amazon.com/Amazon-Essentials-Womens-2-Pack-Medium/dp/B0775ZBBBR/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1550184972&amp;sr=8-5&amp;keywords=amazon%2Bessentials%2Btank&amp;th=1">Amazon essentials</a> ($14). Scoop front and back, 58% cotton, 39% modal, 3% elastane. Although the scoop front is cut almost the same as the Daily Ritual, it sits about 1/2 inch lower. Feels more substantial, and as you can see, fits better to my curves. </p> <p>Photo3- Amazon essentials under a wrap top (Halogen). </p> <p>There isn’t a huge cost difference but this is the kind of purchase where if I don’t get it right it really bugs me - I don’t like futzing with layering tops. I’m keeping the Amazon essential, as I the think the weight and fit is better, </p> <p>Thanks for looking - and letting me workout my thoughts in print! </p>
